Allen, Charlene (3 JUN 1961)

During a wedding ceremony before Rev. H.L. Crubel in Holy Rosary Catholic Church Saturday, June 3, at 9:30 a.m., Miss Charlene Susan Allen became the bride of David Luzinski.  The girls’ choir sang the Mass under the direction of Sisters M. Claudelle and M. Monica.

Parents of the bridal couple are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Allen of Owen (Clark Co., Wis.), and Mr. and Mrs. Alex Luzinski of Thorp.  Mr. Allen presented his daughter in marriage before an altar decorated with bouquets of gladioli, snapdragons and lilacs.

Chosen by the bride for her wedding was a gown of Chantilly lace over nylon tulle fashioned with long sleeves and a Sabrina neckline trimmed with rhinestones and pearls.  Her fingertip veil of French illusion was held to a crown of seed pearls and sequins and she carried a red and white rose bouquet.

Attendants to the bride were Miss Paulette Allen, Owen, maid of honor, and Miss Brenda Luzinski and Mrs. Ed Knoll Jr., both of Stratford, bridesmaids.  Their gowns were in ballerina length in yellow and orchid and they carried matching bouquets of chrysanthemums and carnations.

Rose Ann Knoll was flower girl and Richard Luzinski the ring bearer.

Attending the groom were Jerry Luzinski, Thorp, best man, and Thomas and William Allen, groomsmen.  Ushers were Ed Knoll Jr., Stratford, and Richard Bautch, Milwaukee.

Breakfast and dinner were served in the parish hall with a reception and dance at the Legion Hall.
